• Rowling: Two 'Potter' Characters Will Die

  Mon Jun 26, 2006
  • I always thought from the begining that Harry had to die. It makes sense. "The power the dark lord knows not," to me, is an aludes to Harry's selflessness. He is willing to die for this cause that has been thrust on him.

• What's Wrong With Saving as a PDF?

  Sat Jun 3, 2006
  • I just think it's silly to make Microsoft remove this functionality from Office, seeing as how WordPerfect has been doing it for years. What's the difference between the two, really? They're both document programs that do the same thing, so why can WordPerfect do it when Word can't?

  • You can also extend a copyright. It would require actually registering the copyright, as opposed to the regular "I wrote it I copyright it" thing. Thus, Disney will always be able to claim copyright on Mickey Mouse, et al. as long as their legal department remembers to renew the copyright.

• Rather: Couric Will Need to Be a Leader

  • To me, it almost sounds like he hopes she'll fail, so that he'll have a reason to come back. She has to "love the news?" Did he forget that before Good Morning America, she was a real news journalist, and not some dumb blonde who looks perky in the morning?

• Girls Disciplined for Hugging Each Other on Playground

  Thu Apr 6, 2006
  • Oh, we only ever called those titty-twisters. Oh, and how I was so glad when I grew a chest and my brother could no longer do that to me without getting in trouble. Damn that hurts.
